Vehicle Description
2009 Jaguar XK Coupe
"Beautiful, fast, and distinctive, the XK epitomizes a daring
vision that has been brought to life by Jaguar's passionate design
and engineering teams, working closely together from the idea's
inception. Every millimetre, (sic), is thought out and fitted into
a driving experience that is far greater than the sum of the XK's
extraordinary parts. This is what makes the XK a Jaguar." From the
2009 brochure.
For consignment, a 2009 Jaguar XK coupe with a title verified
48,708 actual miles. This is one of just 2,028 sold in the United
States in 2009 which not only makes it an uncommon car, but one
that is so rarely seen on the street, that it would welcome at Cars
and Coffee and other events where relatively modern sports cars are
highlighted.
Exterior
Its unique profile and use of shapes makes the XK instantly
recognizable, hinting at Jaguars heritage of smooth, rounded edges,
long hoods, and sloping back ends. Yes, this is definitely is the
same family as the old XKE's and you can see the family resemblance
looking stunning in Lunar Gray Metallic. A discerning eye points
out the narrow, fuselage like cabin where the back window reduces
to a tight cone giving way to a sweeping C-pillar that seamlessly
melts into the rear deck, abruptly changing directions with a small
rear wing. Ovals abound and make up the shape of the tail lights,
the grille, and the oblong headlights that cover the fender corners
integrating turn signal visible with 180 degree coverage. Fender
vents are artfully adorned with Jaguar nameplates and a side marker
light and 19-inch wheels carry staggered size tires with a late
2021 date code. Imperfections are limited to some chin scrapes and
some curb rash on thewheels.
Interior
Charcoal plastic formed door panels are adorned with nickel faces
switchgear and burlwood accents on the door handles and are in
great shape. Robust leather bucket seats include perforated
inserts, all in black leather and in nice condition, and the
suggested 2+2 seats in back are near pristine. Plenty of thumb
controls and paddle shifters accompany the leather wrapped steering
wheel which leads to more simulated burlwood accenting underscoring
the instrument cluster with tach and speedometer flanking a digital
screen. The center stack is an attractive panel with screen and
completely integrated AM/FM/CD radio and HVAC panel in nickel trim
framed in burlwood which carries over in bold panels in front of
the passenger and capping the center console where the chrome based
shifter lives. The entire dash is surrounded by stitched leather in
fine shape, as is the plush charcoal carpet below and in the rear
cargo area under the hatch. The button back headliner is gray cloth
and is loose in places,being held up with push pins.
Drivetrain
Don't expect to see components under the hood as there's a big
cover that dresses up the clean engine bay. It's hiding a 4.2 liter
DOHC V8 rated at 294 horsepower and backed by a HP6 ZF 6-speed
automatic transmission which routes power to the rear axle with
3.31 gears. Naturally, on a high end personal sport luxury car,
power disc brakes will be found at all four wheels!
Undercarriage
Clean, driver quality underneath with some typical surface rust on
bare components. Heat shields line the center tunnel where the
driveshaft and dual exhaust flow through an original equipment
mufflers before expelling spent gas via chrome tips at each end of
the rear valance. MacPherson struts make up the independent
suspension on both front and back.
Drive-Ability
Great ergonomics, a handsome interior, and comfortable seats make
us wish our test loop was longer than it is, but we'll have to make
do. First world problems, you see. Anyway, the car has plenty of
power as 294 horses are no slouch, propelling this luxury ride with
surefooted grip, suspension that is almost sport tuned in its
stiffness, but not uncomfortably so. And, as we sort of expected
with this mileage and care, all functional items on the car operate
as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Jag-wire, Jag-u-wor, Jagwar, however you say it, it usually means
luxury, quality materials, and understated opulence, especially in
modern iterations like this XK. Here's one you could use every day
or put away for special weekend jaunts to experience the most
storied brands in all of the automotive world. It's analogue enough
to be vintage, but holds its shape as modern and relevant and
continues to turn heads. Turn yours towards the phone and call
about this Jag today!
